After being rejected by Jiang Jiang, Lu Yuan did not insist too much. He had already expected that Jiang Jiang only regarded him as a friend.
But he still held a glimmer of fantasy.
The two finally promised to study hard in the future, then chatted for a few more words before leaving.
Lu Yuan's confession was a big shock to Jiang Jiang. She had never liked any boy before, and it was also the first time that a boy liked her. It felt a bit strange.
However, when Jiang Jiang returned home, she immediately put her worries aside. No matter what, her main task now was to study.
Once high school starts, she will have to go through new learning tasks. The system reveals that her high school grades must be even better, so she is under a lot of pressure.
In the afternoon, Jiang's mother sent the twins back early. After handing them over to Jiang Jiang, she hurried back to the store. It was the peak period for takeout, and she planned to go to the store to help out.
After letting themselves go a bit yesterday, the twins knew when to quit and they obediently did their homework under Jiang Jiang's supervision.
The two days passed in a flash, and there was not much trouble in waiting for the results.
It was not until around ten o'clock in the morning on the third day that Jiang's father, who was busy in the store, received a call.
It was almost noon, the peak time for takeout orders. When Jiang's father heard the phone ringing, he was a little impatient. He glanced at the screen and found that the caller was Jiang Jiang's class teacher, so he quickly suppressed his impatience.
But he was still confused. Why did Jiang Jiang's class teacher suddenly call him? Did Jiang Jiang's grades come out? That shouldn't be the case. The grades won't be announced for at least five or six days.
"Who is it?" asked Grandma Jiang. She was bored at home, so she came to the store to help out.
"The eldest student's class teacher." Father Jiang responded and picked up the phone.
Grandma Jiang simply stopped wiping the table and listened to what Father Jiang said.
"Yes, I am."
"Ah? Really?"
I don't know what Jiang Jiang, the head teacher, said, but Jiang's father's face was full of shock and disbelief, and his voice was so loud that even several customers in the store looked sideways.
"What's wrong?" asked Grandma Jiang.
Father Jiang didn't have time to reply her until the person on the phone said something else, causing his voice to suddenly rise.
"My eldest son passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer?"
After saying this, Father Jiang's face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
The guests who were paying attention to Jiang's father's movements also opened their eyes wide. The boss's child passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer?
Grandma Jiang felt something was wrong. Jiang Jiang got the top score in the imperial examination? How is this possible?
"Okay, okay, thank you teacher, thank you teacher!"
As Mr. Jiang spoke, he nodded and thanked the person on the phone. He completely forgot that he was talking to someone on the phone and that others could not see him.
After saying a few more words, Jiang's father hung up the phone with a flushed face and joy.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he immediately spoke excitedly.
"My eldest son got full marks in the high school entrance exam! First in the city! Number one in the city!"
"Wen Li! The eldest child got the top score in the exam! Their class teacher called!"
After Father Jiang finished speaking, he quickly called to the kitchen.
Mother Jiang just heard Father Jiang's phone call, and she didn't come out because she didn't react in time.
After being told by Jiang's father again, Jiang's mother finally reacted. Her usually cold face now showed the same excitement and joy as Jiang's father.
Mother Jiang pulled aside the kitchen curtain and came out.
"Really?" She was a little bit incredulous.
"Really? Their class teacher called and told me personally! How could it be fake?!"
The muscles on Father Jiang's face were trembling excitedly.
Number one in the city!
Their Jiang family has never had a top scholar, and Jiang's father never dreamed that Jiang Jiang could bring a top scholar to their family!
"I am not dreaming!" Father Jiang felt a little dizzy.
Jiang's mother ignored him, wiped her oily hands on her apron, and wanted to run out, "I'll go back and tell Jiang Jiang, she doesn't know yet!"
"Okay, you go." Father Jiang's mouth could no longer close.
"I know from last time that your boss is very good!" said a regular customer of the store.
"It's amazing! No. 1 in the city!"
"The key is still full marks, this is really awesome!"
"Congratulations, boss! You'll have to treat me to a meal later!"
…
The customers in the store talked about it.
Father Jiang's mouth corners were curled up to his ears by what those people said, and he could only smile foolishly.
Jiang's mother stopped at the door and said with a smile, "Today, noodles are free for everyone who eats in the store!"
"Hey! The boss lady is so generous!"
"Thank you, Madam Boss!"
Amid the guests' thanks, Mother Jiang walked briskly back home.
When passing by the next-door shop, several owners were surprised that Jiang Mu would go home when the noodle shop was at its busiest.
"Mrs. Jiang, did you make some money? You look so happy!"
The teasing of others made Jiang's mother smile even more. "I didn't pick up any money, but it was almost there! My eldest son got the top score in the high school entrance exam, and the teacher called to let her know! I'm going home to tell her now!"
The bosses who heard this were shocked, "Number one! Your boss really got the top score!"
"The teacher called to inform me, how could this be false?"
"Oh wow, your boss is awesome!"
"Your eldest son's grades are not good, so how come he got the top score in the exam?"
Jiang's mother smiled and explained, "It's my fault too. I asked her to help out in the store before, so she didn't have much time to study, so her grades were naturally bad. Then, when there were less than two months left before the high school entrance exam, she worked hard and got the top score!"
"No more talking, no more talking. I have to go back and tell her about this."
Jiang's mother didn't talk much with her neighbors in the past, and would just nod when she saw them occasionally. But today she was really happy, and something so worthy of pride must be announced to everyone.
While the bosses in the back were still talking, Jiang's mother had already turned around and walked quickly towards home.
"Jiang Jiang!" Jiang's mother shouted excitedly as she entered the house.
Jiang Jiang was reading a book. When she heard her mother calling her, she quickly responded, but she still sat at the desk and was reluctant to move.
"Jiang Jiang! Your class teacher called! He said that you got the top score in the exam! Top score with full marks!" Jiang's mother said as she opened the door.
When she finished speaking, she was already standing behind Jiang Jiang with a happy face.
"No. 1 in the city! Your class teacher said so himself!"
Jiang Jiang was also incredulous when he heard this, "Is this true?"
"Really!" Jiang's mother nodded repeatedly.
real?
——Congratulations to the host for achieving perfect results in the high school entrance examination.
The system replied in Jiang Jiang’s mind.
Jiang Jiang blinked, and joy gradually spread from her heart.
"I really got full marks." Jiang Jiang said softly.
She knew she did not do badly in the exam, but she was not absolutely sure of getting a perfect score. After all, it was people who read the papers, and they were more independent, especially in the arts. Who knew she would lose one or two points because of some unsatisfactory little points?
She never thought that she actually did it and got full marks in the exam.
Unexpected, but also reasonable.
After nearly two months of hard work and studying for more than twenty hours a day, it is finally time to reap the fruits of my labor.
Jiang Jiang's eyes felt a little hot, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"You are awesome!" Jiang's mother praised, then hugged Jiang Jiang, her eyes red, "I am so proud of you."
Jiang Jiang was startled and his hands unconsciously hugged Jiang Mu's waist, tears finally bursting out.
She hadn't been hugged like this by Jiang's mother for a long time. Even the strong smell of oil smoke could not cover up the scent of her mother.
In the afternoon, the principal and head teacher of Jiangjiang School came to the store in person, and the whole family was delighted.
By the evening, all the relatives and neighbors of the Jiang family knew that Jiang Jiang had scored full marks in the exam and was the top scorer in Anning City!
The noodle shop closed early today and the employees were also given the day off. Jiang's mother went to buy some vegetables and the family had a good meal to celebrate.
"Come on, everyone raise your glasses to celebrate Jiang Jiang for getting the top spot in the imperial examination!" Jiang's father took the lead in raising the glass in his hand and said with a flushed face.
Grandpa Jiang was the first to respond. He had the same feeling as Jiang's father. He felt that their Jiang family's ancestors were very talented and had produced a top scholar. Jiang Jiang was simply the glory of their Jiang family!
Mother Jiang responded and said to the twins sitting next to her, "Learn from your sister. She studied on her own initiative and got the top score in the exam!"
The twins held the cups and looked at each other. They were both confused as to how their poor student sister could suddenly become the top student.
"Yes, you two must study like your sister in the future and pass the imperial examinations and bring back two top scorers for our family!" said Father Jiang happily.
In the past, they all thought that their family probably didn’t have the gene for studying. Jiang Jiang had poor grades, and the twins’ grades were also average.
But who knew that Jiang Jiang would give them a huge surprise. If Jiang Jiang could do it, the twins could definitely do it! Father Jiang seemed to have seen all three of his children pass the imperial examinations, and he looked particularly happy when he walked out.
The twins wanted to stuff their faces into the bowls. Children with poor grades are most afraid of being compared with others, especially with outstanding people.
"The eldest brother got full marks in the exam, so he will definitely be admitted to No. 2 Middle School, right?" Grandpa Jiang said after taking a sip of wine. In his impression, Linjiang No. 2 Middle School is the best high school.
"No. 2 Middle School is a sure thing! Anning No. 1 Middle School might also be a possibility!" said Father Jiang happily.
"Anning No. 1 Middle School, so won't you be in the same school as Zhenzhen from now on?" Grandma Jiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
"Zhenzhen's grades haven't come out yet, right? She may not be able to get into Anning No. 1 Middle School." Father Jiang didn't mean to belittle Meng Zhenzhen. Although Meng Zhenzhen's grades were good, the high school entrance examination was full of uncertainty. Some people performed well, while others performed poorly.
"What do you mean?" Grandma Jiang immediately sulked. "Zhenzhen estimated her score, it's at least 670. Her father said she will definitely get into Anning No. 1 Middle School."
"That's a school." Father Jiang saw that Grandma Jiang was unhappy and said it quickly.
"Hmph!" Grandma Jiang picked up a piece of braised pork and chewed it vigorously.
"By the way, the eldest daughter got the top score in the imperial examination, and her aunt wants to buy her a mobile phone. You won't go back on your word, right?" Mother Jiang said angrily when she saw Grandma Jiang's look.
It was such a happy occasion, but Grandma Jiang was still deliberately putting on a face. Who was she showing off to? Since Grandma Jiang wouldn't let her be happy, she wouldn't let Grandma Jiang be happy either. She let Aunt Jiang pay, and she wanted to see what kind of expression Grandma Jiang would have!
Sure enough, when Mother Jiang said this, Grandma Jiang's face almost turned black.
She had thought of this bet as a joke before, but who knew that Jiang Jiang actually got a perfect score!
Grandma Jiang was absolutely unwilling to let Aunt Jiang spend money on Jiang Jiang.
Seeing Grandma Jiang suffer from nausea, Mother Jiang was satisfied.
"If the eldest son is admitted to Anning No. 1 Middle School, he will probably have to live on campus, right? The middle school only recruits about ten people from our city, and I don't know if Jiang Jiang can get in." Jiang's mother was a little worried.
Jiang Jiang raised his head when he heard this.
"Jiang Jiang is the top scorer in the city, how could she not be admitted to Anning No. 1 Middle School?" Jiang's father said. Jiang Jiang is the top scorer, "It's okay if she doesn't live in school. She can even live with her aunt."
"Then you might as well live in the school dormitory." Jiang's mother rolled her eyes immediately.
"Okay, then live in the school." Father Jiang said quickly.
After listening to what Jiang's father and mother said, Jiang Jiang finally put her mind at ease. She was not afraid that she would not be admitted to Anning No. 1 Middle School, but she was afraid that Jiang's father and mother would not be willing to pay for her accommodation and food expenses.
She had no sense of security regarding money, and she was worried that if she upset Mr. and Mrs. Jiang one day, they would not be willing to give her money.
Now that she thinks about it, she was overthinking it. If she could get into Anning No. 1 Middle School, Jiang's father and mother would definitely be so happy. How could they not pay for her to go to school?
As they were chatting and laughing, Jiang's father's phone suddenly rang.
He took a look and found it was an unfamiliar number. He took a bite of food and put it in his mouth. Then Father Jiang answered the phone, "Hello."
"Hello, I am a teacher from the Admissions Office of Anning No. 1 Middle School. Are you the parent of Jiang Jiang?"
Upon hearing this, Father Jiang quickly swallowed the unchewed food in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and held his phone in both hands, "Hello, teacher. I am, I am."
When the people at the table heard Father Jiang calling them teacher, they immediately stopped what they were doing.
After Jiang's father finished talking to the teacher, Jiang's mother asked hurriedly, "Which teacher?"
Jiang Jiang also looked at Jiang's father. The head teacher had already notified the results, and the principal had called to congratulate her. She had some guesses in her mind as to which teacher it would be.
"It's a teacher from Anning No. 1 Middle School! He asked you to apply for the school! If you rank in the top three in your grade, you will be awarded a scholarship!" Jiang's father said to Jiang Jiang. He was so excited that his saliva was gushing out.
Jiang Jiang was delighted when he heard this, it turned out to be Anning No. 1 Middle School!
"Apply! Definitely! With Jiang Jiang's grades, she can definitely get into Anning No. 1 Middle School!" Jiang Jiang didn't need to answer, her mother had already answered for her.
That night, in addition to Anning No. 1 High School, several other high schools in the city also called to congratulate and recruit students, but Jiang's father happily declined all the calls. With Anning No. 1 High School in front of him, he had no reason to look at other schools.
However, Linjiang No. 2 High School offered Jiang Jiang a very generous offer. Not only did it waive tuition fees for three years of high school, but it also gave him scholarships every semester. Jiang's father did not refuse directly, but only said he would discuss it with his family.
"Linjiang No. 2 Middle School will offer scholarships as long as Jiang Jiang ranks in the top ten in his grade in the exam. Tuition will be waived, which means he can study for free and get money at the same time!" Jiang's father was tempted.
"No. 2 Middle School is not bad. Although it is not as good as Anning No. 1 Middle School, it is the best in Linjiang." Jiang's mother was also somewhat tempted.
Jiang Jiang, who had just let go of his worries, suddenly felt worried again.
"It depends on which school the eldest child wants to go to." Grandpa Jiang said.
"Yes, boss, which school do you want to go to? Now it's not the school that chooses you, it's you who chooses the school!" Father Jiang was a little proud when he said this.
"Anning No. 1 Middle School is definitely the best, but you need to live in a dormitory, and you have never lived in a school, so I don't know if you can get used to it. Linjiang No. 2 Middle School is close to home, and you can come back every day. It is also free tuition and has scholarships. Each has its advantages." Jiang's mother concluded, but her bias was obvious.
Just as Jiang Jiang was about to speak, the cell phone on his father's desk rang again.
As expected, it was another teacher from a school.
After Jiang's father hung up the phone, he faced everyone's eyes and said, "It's Yude High School, the high school for rich people! Good guy, this teacher said that if Jiang Jiang applies to their school, he will be given a scholarship of 10,000 yuan per year, and tuition, accommodation and food expenses will be free!"
"My goodness, he is so rich and arrogant." Jiang's mother sighed.
They knew a little about Yude High School. It was an aristocratic school in Anning City. Only children from wealthy families could get in. The tuition alone was hundreds of thousands per year, so it was not something that ordinary people like them could afford.
But no matter how good the conditions offered by Yude High School were, Jiang's father and mother did not consider it. To them, Yude High School always seemed to be shrouded in a veil and a little unreal.
"The kids there are all rich, how can the teachers teach them? They will definitely be poor students." Father Jiang said.
If Linjiang No. 2 Middle School offered such conditions, he would definitely agree to let Jiang Jiang go.
"Anyway, I'll just choose between No. 1 and No. 2 Middle School. What do you think, Boss?"
Jiang Jiang was stunned when he was cueed, then nodded.
Jiang's father and mother were only concerned with their happiness and did not notice that Jiang Jiang was thoughtful.
After Jiang Jiang's results came out, Linjiang Middle School hung up a banner overnight - warmly congratulating Jiang Jiang for becoming the top scorer in Anning City!
The next day, regular customers who saw the banner came to the store one after another to report the news.
They were a little bit unconvinced yesterday, but now after seeing the banner at school, they are finally sure.
The day after Jiang Jiang's results came out, Uncle Jiang asked someone to check Meng Zhenzhen's results, which were 682 points.
Although it is not as good as Jiang Jiang, it is also a very good result.
After learning about Meng Zhenzhen's grades, Jiang's mother personally called Aunt Jiang, congratulating Meng Zhenzhen on her good grades and asking her for a bet.
Aunt Jiang was so angry.
If it weren't for Jiang Jiang's top score, Meng Zhenzhen's high school entrance examination results would have been enough for her to brag about, but who knew that Jiang Jiang got a perfect score.
"Jiang Jiang actually didn't cheat." Meng Zhenzhen said unhappily while sitting on the sofa. Meng Zhenzhen was naturally unhappy to be compared with someone who was inferior to her in every aspect.
"She was so lucky that she got the first place in the city." Aunt Jiang said bitterly.
She didn't have much feeling towards Jiang Jiang before, but after experiencing two things, she really hated Jiang Jiang. Now she is just like Grandma Jiang, and can't stand Jiang Jiang being good.
"He passed the exam based on his own ability and got full marks in every subject. Not everyone can achieve that," said Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang was the least moved by Jiang Jiang's success in all the exams. He was well-informed and knew that being good at studying didn't mean anything. He was not like the Jiang family, who thought that being good at studying meant success.
Moreover, this is just the high school entrance exam for Jiang Jiang. She still has a long way to go. Who knows what she will become in the future.
However, he was still impressed by the progress Jiang Jiang had made in such a short period of time.
Aunt Jiang realized that what she had just said was a bit too much, so she took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. When she spoke again, she became her usual gentle self.
"Is it safe for Zhenzhen to go to the middle school?"
"No. 1 Middle School is definitely a good choice, but I am considering whether to let her go to Yude Middle School."
Uncle Jiang's words made Aunt Jiang and Meng Zhenzhen look at him at the same time.
"Why do you want her to enter Yude? Can she get in?" They live in Anning City and know Yude better than Jiang's father and mother.
Yude High School is an aristocratic high school, but getting in requires more than just money.
"Dad, do you want me to go abroad?" Meng Zhenzhen thought more than Aunt Jiang.
"You can always get in if you have connections. You don't have to go abroad. You can also develop in China. We'll talk about it later. The teaching staff of Yude is not worse than that of No. 1 Middle School. The school's admission rate is not high because most of the students go abroad. Yude is full of rich and powerful families. You can make a lot of friends if you go there to study, which is good for your future development."
Nowadays, no matter what people do, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if they have connections. Meng Zhenzhen is smart and has high emotional intelligence. It is not difficult for her to make friends in Yude, which will definitely help her future development.
Uncle Jiang has been thinking about this matter.
Meng Zhenzhen nodded thoughtfully.
"That's good. If I go to No. 1 Middle School, I'll have to be in the same school with Jiang Jiang. That's unlucky." Aunt Jiang said in a low voice.
Two days later, the results of the high school entrance examination came out and the students were called back to school to fill in their applications.
The news that Jiang Jiang had won the top spot in Anning City had already spread to everyone in the past two days.
Therefore, as soon as Jiang Jiang arrived at school, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"So inspiring! He went from last to first place!"
"I heard that Jiang Jiang only slept for three or four hours a day during that period, and spent the rest of the time studying. She deserved to do so well in the exam!"
"She got full marks in all subjects! What kind of pervert is this! She worked hard for less than two months and got such a low score. Is she still human?"
…
People around were talking about it, and even though Jiang Jiang had heard so much praise recently, he still blushed a little.
The noises became quieter until we entered the classroom.
"Congratulations." Lu Yuan congratulated Jiang Jiang immediately when he saw him.
"Congratulations." Jiang Jiang smiled at him. Lu Yuan also did well in the exam, with 693 points, ranking fifth in the city, and a congratulatory banner was hung at the school gate.
"Hey, can you please pay attention to me!" Meng Hao shouted muffledly behind the two of them.
Jiang Jiang quickly turned around and saw Meng Haozhen lying on the table with a look of despair on his face.
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Jiang asked Lu Yuan in a low voice, but she guessed that Meng Hao must have done poorly in the exam.
Without waiting for Lu Yuan to answer, Meng Hao spoke up, "I failed the exam, and my parents asked me to repeat a year!"
"Wow, how did you two take the exam? Why did you perform so well?"
Jiang Jiang immediately felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
"I told you to copy homework every day." Lu Yuan replied helplessly.
Meng Hao felt aggrieved. There was so much homework, how could he finish it without copying?
Meng Hao's grades were not bad originally, but he let himself go a bit during the period leading up to the high school entrance exam, and coupled with his poor performance, his test results were very unsatisfactory.
"Are you sure you want to review it?" Jiang Jiang asked carefully.
"Well, my mom has already arranged it for me. I will be in their class and I will never be able to copy homework again."
Hei Lian is a famous teacher in Linjiang Middle School. He is nicknamed Black Face because he is very strict.
"Isn't that great? You will definitely be able to get into a good high school next year!" Jiang Jiang encouraged.
"I hope so." Meng Hao was a little listless. "By the way, Jiang Jiang, do you no longer need your notes? Can you give me a copy? Don't worry, I'll pay you. One hundred per subject. Both liberal arts and science count as one subject. If you think the price is too little, the price is negotiable."
